peer agreement (net): +1blindly from/separate from the operator Explanation: Dict. Not sure if it fits with the context, but it seems as though a second test/trial was done away from the operador. |

with the operator kept blind Explanation: Or "with the operator kept in the dark". It doesn't mean that the operator is actually absent, it just means that he doesn't no what the right answers are so that he can't give any hints to the subjects through body language or any other form of communication: http://skepdic.com/control.html gives a good explanation of double-blind studies: Only when the operator agrees that his device is working should the test proceed to the second stage, the double-blind test. For, the operator will not be as likely to come up with an ad hoc hypothesis to explain away his failure in a double-blind test if he has agreed beforehand that the device is working properly. .. The different performances--10 correct out of 10 tries versus 6 correct out of 25 tries--vividly illustrates the need for keeping the subject blind to the controls: it is needed to eliminate self-deception and subjective validation. The evaluator is kept blind to the controls to prevent him or her from subtly tipping off the subject, either knowingly or unknowingly. If the evaluator knew which crates were empty and which had persons, he or she might give a visual signal to the subject by looking only at the crates with persons. To eliminate the possibility of cheating or evaluator bias, the evaluator is kept in the dark regarding the controls. Reference: http://skepdic.com/control.html |
